Frequently Asked Questions About Freddo
What is Freddo?
Freddo is a Greek-style iced espresso drink, usually made by chilling espresso with ice and serving it cold. The two familiar versions are Freddo espresso and Freddo cappuccino, which is topped with cold milk foam.
How do you make Freddo espresso?
Freddo espresso is made by shaking freshly brewed espresso with ice until it becomes cold and frothy, then serving it over ice. Sugar can be added to the espresso before shaking if you want a sweeter drink.
What is the difference between Freddo espresso and Freddo cappuccino?
Freddo cappuccino has a layer of cold milk foam on top, while Freddo espresso is served without milk. Both are espresso-based and chilled with ice, so the main difference is the cappuccino’s creamy topping.
Is Freddo the same as Greek frappé?
No, Freddo is made with espresso, whereas a traditional Greek frappé is made by shaking instant coffee with water and serving it over ice. Both are cold, frothy Greek café drinks, but their coffee bases and flavours differ.
Does Freddo contain caffeine?
Yes, Freddo contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. The amount varies with the espresso used, and caffeine can affect sleep, so choosing a decaffeinated espresso or avoiding it late in the day may help if you are sensitive.
Does Freddo have milk in it?
Freddo espresso does not normally contain milk; it is espresso served cold with ice. Freddo cappuccino has cold milk foam on top, so specify Freddo espresso if you want the milk-free version.
Is Freddo sweetened?
Freddo can be served unsweetened or sweetened to taste. In Greek cafés, you can often request it plain, medium-sweet, or sweet; ask for your preferred sweetness when ordering rather than assuming sugar is included.
Where did Freddo coffee come from?
Freddo coffee comes from Greece, where iced espresso became a popular café drink, especially in warm weather. Freddo espresso and its milk-foam-topped cappuccino version are now served in cafés beyond Greece as well.
Can you make Freddo with instant coffee?
You can make a cold, frothy drink with instant coffee, but it will not be classic Freddo, which is based on espresso. For the closest result, brew espresso, chill it by shaking with ice, and serve over fresh ice.
Can you drink Freddo at night?
You can drink Freddo at night, but its espresso caffeine may make it harder to fall asleep, particularly if you are sensitive to caffeine. Choose decaffeinated espresso or have it earlier if it affects your sleep.

What is Freddo?
Freddo is a Greek iced espresso, made by shaking espresso with ice until it turns cool and lightly frothy. It is often served black, while freddo cappuccino is topped with cold milk foam. In Greece, it is a popular café order in warm weather and can be enjoyed throughout the day; elsewhere, it makes a refreshing alternative to hot coffee or a chilled drink to sip on a break. Sugar is optional, so you can ask for it unsweetened or adjust it to taste.
It provides caffeine with very little energy: 100 g contains 2 calories. For a lighter cup, skip syrups and added sugar; a glass of water alongside it makes a simple pairing.
